As long ago as 1872 no less than 356,211 pounds of opium Were imported into England, and if the iu'dhlgence was measured by this standard the decline and fall of the social system might be confidently predicted. ' ' "You mean that a dipsomaniac who is deprived of drink would try {to get drugs, but that a. victim of the drug habit does not care about alcohol?” “Exactly.” "Is the habit increasing in this country?" "WHAT ABOUT THE EFFECTS?" “Does the drug habit assume seri- ous proportions here in England?” “Yes, it is a very common thing, chiefly among ladies. Usually it is taken in the beginning to allay pain. :Without, doubt a large amount of laudanum is consumed by the upper classes in conjunction with alcohol. It is a hard and fast rule that, o. dipsomaniac is also addicted to the morphia habit, but not vice versa. “Yes, entirely. When I was in New York, some time ago, I spent a good deal of time in the Chinese quarter, and it was a most ordinary thing to see European women there, who had become fascinated by the habit, hanging out of the windows. They had become its victims to such an extent. that they were incapable of leaving the quarter. Many of them were ladies. WAS OVER £400,000. One curious thing in reference to the drug is that it takes hold of the inâ€" 'divldual absolutely; it degenerates him, and makes him quite unfit for the ordinary duties of life. The first symptoms are feelings of content and slight excitement, iollowed by laugh- ter of an involuntary nature. At the first stage the smoker has feel- ings of delight, while the temperaâ€" ture is increased. Circumstances which happened long ago present themselves in all their originality, and the future appears bright. As the habit increases this feeling of exaltation is followed by depression. At first the complexion, and particul- arly the eyes, present a brilliant ap~ pearance, but afterward the face be- comes intensely pale, and generally insensibility supervenes." "Do these conditions apply also to those who are addicted to cocaine?” “Yes, entirely. When I was in New York, some time ago, I spent a good On this subject Dr. Forbes Winslow speaks with the authority of one who has made a. close study of the disease for many years. To a re- porter of the London Daily News he entered into the matter at some length. and during the interview quoted from a number of works which he has written on the subject. “In my opinion," he said, “one of the chief causes of degeneration in the human race is indulgence in opium or the drug habit. In China there m‘re upward of three millions of opium Heaters, and the number is gradually increasing. In one year the value of opium which was sent into England Public attention has recently been drawn to the drug habit by cases in the courts. Some time ago a man and woman were placed in the dock together. Their condition of nerv- ous distress was pitiable, and they limplored the magistrate to allow fthcm to have morphia. Their suffer- ;rings were so acute that the request was eventually agreed to. and the immediate result was marvellous. [Their misery and dejection disappear- ed, and, for n time at least, they seemed perfectly restored. More recently 11. man charged with dishon- est doaling told the magistrate that, he was a victim to cocaine, and while under the influence of the drug did not know what happened. Inâ€" quirles show that the vice is much more common that is generally im- agined. Naturally, it is intended to be a secret sin, but the victim of the habit quickly becomes mentally and physically demoralize'd to an extent which renders the services of the doc- tor imperative. fmcURABLE DRUG HABITS. Results of Inquiries as to the Pro- gress of the Habit in England. INTERVIEW WITH DR. FORBES WINSLOW. After a little practice a girL can run half a mile without stopping. Then let her pause for a twoâ€"minute rest before doing the next half mile. Run briskly, but not at top speed. Without question, one of the best exercises in the world for girls is running. It contributes for one thing that elasticity without which grace is impossible. and spurs every bodily function to its appropriate duty. Other things being equal, the girl who knows how to run, and does run, will outclass in general attrac- tiveness the girl who does not. She will carry herself more gracefully. Her pose will be easy; she will be hotter set, up, and generally better able to take care of herself in society or out of it. Canon Barnett, warden of Toynbee Hall, one of the many Englishmen who have worked for the betterment of the people who live in the grim- xuest and most unlovcly part of Lon- don, was once asked what he would 'do "it he were a millionaire" ? “I would not subscribe to give men "Let her take a brisk run daily, beginning with a few yards. and getting up to a mile or thereabou'ts and she will not need to resort 'to a dietâ€"that most, melancholy and deâ€" pressing method of reducing avoirduâ€" pois."

It is fresh air that gives a girl bewitching color in her cheeks and purifies every 'drop of blood in her body. that Efiect of Improving People From the Inside and Outside. Will Give Color to the Girl Who Practises it Daily. To take a mile run daily, as a. man in training would do it,‘ is the best way in the world for a. girl to get color into her cheeks and sparkle in- to her eyes. ' “11‘ girls would turn their attenâ€" tion to running, they would find it. the most exhilarating pastime in the world, as well as one of the most healthful," says an authority in athletics. “Besides adding roses to the cheeks and inches to the lungs, running is the stout. woman’s best resource.

Among the curiosities recently ac- quired by the department of Egypâ€" tian and Assyrian antiquities in the British Museum is an ostrich egg pierced for suspension and covered with traces of a painted design, proâ€" bably of a predynastic period. Ac- cording to the experts of the depart- ment, this egg is certainly nearly six thousand years old, as the de- sign was made not later than B. C. 4000. The egg of the ostrich is said to have possessed some religious significance even in the predyuastic period. There is more Cntnrrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together. and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable.

This law applies to locomotives, but in course of time coroners' juries, instead of claiming the forfeit, inflicted a fine. So recently as the year 1838 a loco- motive on the Liverpool and Manâ€" chester line, which, by exploding, caused the death of its engineer and fireman, was fined £20, while the fol- lowing year another engine on the same line was fined £1,400. He built a row of pretty, comfor- table cottages. In a. little time each family was living, as before in one room and letting the rest of the house. That is the effect of im- proving pcople from the outside. To emphasize this point of im- proving people from the inside, the story of a Scotch nobleman may be told. He had a. sense of the 'duties of a man in his position, and as soon as he came into his large estates set about providing better housing for his people, who were living in an abominable way,‘ huddlc'd together like animals in one-roomed cottages.
